A new update is coming to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre this week, and will be going live on December 12th around 2 p.m. ET. Ahead of its release, publisher Gun Media has provided full patch notes detailing everything players can expect to see. Unlike last month’s big update, players shouldn’t expect to see any new content from this one. Instead, tomorrow’s update centers on fixes for the game. Notably, the developers have actually reverted a few of the changes that were made to Johnny last month! Full patch notes from the game’s official subreddit can be found below:ย

Fixed: Missing Window Jump Audio
A couple of missing audio issues have been resolved for window jumps
One was the window jump on Nancy’s House
One was the window jump on Family House
Fixed: Repeat Electro Shock Grid on Nancy’s House
We have fixed an issue where if entering a powered on cattle grid on Nancy’s House from a specific angle, it would repeatedly shock the player
Fixed: Stuck Spot in Trophy Room
Fixed a stuck spot for Family in the Trophy Room on Nancy’s House
Fixed: Scoreboard Stuck on Screen
Resolved an issue that would cause the scoreboard to be stuck on screen if viewed while spectating
Fixed: Nancy Skill Tree Incorrectly Showing Nodes Unlocked
We have fixed an issue that would show nodes unlocked incorrectly even after a full respec of the tree
Fixed: Danny Skill Tree Nodes Server Error
Fixed an issue that made the top right of Danny’s skill tree visible after unlocking any node
The visible nodes would return a server error if selected
Fixed: General Skill Tree Node Visibility
Fixed a general issue that would make skill tree nodes visible, despite not being unlocked or uncovered
Fixed: Nancy Attack Audio Issue
Fixed an issue where only the first strike of a combo strike from Nancy would have the correct audio play

Fixed an issue that would not allow you to rebind the scroll wheel effectively
Fixed: Missing Connection Error Message
Fixed an issue on some platforms that would cause no message to appear if experiencing a connection error on the main menu, then attempting to access online services
Changed: Johnny Changes Reverted
We are reverting the changes made to Johnny in the Big Patch
The Hunt ability changes are not being reverted
This change affects his lunge/speed issues
Johnny is intended to have a lunge
The issue is his speed boost when attacking
In trying to correct that boost we unintentionally altered his lunge and tweaked his animations
This was not a desirable result, and will be reverted
The speed boost will be separated out and worked on at a later date with the intention to not alter his lunge
Changed: Remove Barbed Wire on Ladders
We have made a change to removing barbed wire and the prompt to do so
Previously you would get a prompt to remove Nancy’s barbed wire traps from yourself while on a ladder
This would cause the Victim player to become stuck
You will no longer see a prompt or be able to begin removing barbed wire while using a ladder
Changed: Community News and DLC Main Menu Banner
We are adjusting the sizing of the banner on the main menu
The banner is now 4x larger
Just kidding, it’s slightly smaller and flows better with the background
Tuned: Nuggets, Radius, Range, and Duration Issues
With the changes made to noise being sticky to Victims, we uncovered some issues with various Nugget locations
Some Nuggets were detecting Victims through walls, that has been fixed
Some Nuggets were sticking noise pings to Victims for far too long, that has been fixed
Please continue to report any Problem Nuggets to the support team for investigation
Following the announcement, the official Texas Chain Saw Massacre Twitter account answered a number of questions about changes the team is working on. Notably, players can expect to see “perk reworking in a future patch,” and the team is also “investigating ways to make lobbies flow smoother.” No time table for these changes has been revealed, but several players thanked the team for their transparency and the way that they’ve been listening to the game’s community. Hopefully The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will continue to improve and give players a reason to stick with the game!ย
